Name

The English placename Nineveh comes from LatinNinive and SeptuagintGreekNineyḗ (Νινευή) under influence of the BiblicalHebrewNīnewēh (נִינְוֶה), itself from the AkkadianNinua (var.Ninâ) or Old BabylonianNinuwā. The original meaning of the name is unclear, but may have referred to a patron goddess. The cuneiform for Ninâ is a fish within a house (cf. Aramaicnuna, "fish"). This may have simply intended "Place of Fish" or may have indicated a goddess associated with fish or the river itself, possibly originally of Hurrian origin. The city was later said to be devoted to "the Ishtar of Nineveh" and Nina was one of the Sumerian and Assyrian names of that goddess.

Plot: One of the world's oldest legends comes to life. The hated King Gilgamesh strikes at the Gods as he tries to maintain power and as he seeks the answers to happiness and immortality. All his struggles are in vain, for what he seeks is closer to him than he ever realized.
